5Electric and Magnetic Dipole Moments
Transformation properties
An EDM implies both P and T are violated. An EDM
at a measureable level would imply non-standard
model CP. The baryon/antibaryon asymmetry in the
universe, needs new sources of CP.

7General Statements
- We know that n oscillate
- neutral lepton flavor violation
- Expect Charged lepton flavor violation at some
level - enhanced if there is new dynamics at the TeV
scale - in particular if there is SUSY
- We expect CP in the lepton sector (EDMs as
well as n oscillations) - possible connection with cosmology (leptogenesis)
8The Physics Case
- Scenario 1
- LHC finds SUSY
- MEG sees m ? e g
- The trio will have SUSY enhancements
- to understand the nature of the SUSY space we
need to get all the information possible to
understand the nature of this new theory

16The Physics Case
- Scenario 2
- LHC finds Standard Model Higgs at a reasonable
mass, nothing else, (g-2) discrepancy could be
the only indication beyond neutrino mass of New
Physics - Then precision measurements come to the
forefront, since they are sensitive to heavier
virtual particles. - µ-e conversion is especially sensitive to other
new physics besides SUSY

18?-N ? e-N vs. m?e g as Probes of LFV
- ?-N ? e-N is more sensitive for essentially all
processes not mediated by photon - ?-N ? e-N is more sensitive than is ??e g to
chirality conserving processes - ??e g is more sensitive for processes mediated by
photons - B(??e ?) ? 300 ? Rme for these processes
- The motivation is sufficiently strong that both
experiments should be done - Relative rates for ??e g and ?-N ? e-N would give
information on underlying mechanism - A significant rate for ??e g with polarized muons
could give additional information on mechanism
19The Experiments LFV
- µe conversion and Muonium-anti-Muonium conversion
- pulsed beam
- µ? eg and eee
- DC beam
20Near Term Experiments on LFV
- MEG _at_ PSI (under construction, data begins in
2006) - 10-13 BR sensitivity
- MECO _at_BNL (funding not certain)
- 10-17 BR sensitivity

23Future Experiments on LFV
- PRIME-type experiment
- with FFAG muon storage ring
- few X 10-19
- Such an experiment is perfect for the front end
of a muon factory

Muonium production

26An improvement of 102 on GMM
- would confront these types of models which
would also contribute to double b decay. At
the front end of a n factory with a pulsed beam
this might be possible.
27Future Muon (g-2) Experiments
- E969 _at_ BNL 0.5 ? 0.20 ppm (scientific approval
but not funded) - expected near-term improvement in theory, ? the
ability to confront the SM by x 2 - The next generation 0.20 ? 0.06 ppm
- substantial RD would be necessary
- new ring or improved present ring?

29Muon (g-2) Store m in a storage ring
magnetic field averaged over azumuth in the
storage ring
30E969 Systematic Error Goal
- Field improvements will involve better trolley
calibrations, better tracking of the field with
time, temperature stability of room, improvements
in the hardware - Precession improvements will involve new scraping
scheme, lower thresholds, more complete
digitization periods, better energy calibration
31SM value dominated by hadronic issues
- Lowest order hadronic contribution ( 60 ppm)
- Hadronic light-by-light contribution ( 1 ppm)
The error on these two contributions will
ultimately limit the interpretation of a more
precise muon (g-2) measurement.
32A (g-2) experiment to 0.06 ppm?
- Makes sense if the theory can be improved to 0.1
ppm, which is hard, but maybe not impossible. - With the present storage ring, we already have

35Muon EDM
- Present limit 10-19 e-cm
- Could reach 10-24 to 10-25 at a high intensity
muon source?
36Spin Precession Frequencies m in B field with
both an MDM and EDM
The motional E - field, ß X B, is much stronger
than laboratory electric fields .
GV/m with no sparks!
The EDM causes the spin to precess out of plane.
37EDM up/down Asymmetry
- avoid the magic ? and use a radial E-field to
turn off (g-2) precession - Place detectors above and below the vacuum
chamber and look for an up/down asymmetry which
builds up with time
38Up/Down asymmetry vs. time
time
39The EDM ring
- run with both µ and µ-.
- there must be regions of combined EB along
with separate focusing elements. - There needs to be a scheme to inject CW and CCW.

45Beams needed
- Pulsed intense muon beams
- energy from surface (28 MeV/c) to 3.1 Gev/c
- A few experiments could used DC beam, but almost
all can use the pulse structure of a pulse, and
some ms with no beam
46Beam requirements A few examples
47Plans for next year
- LFV experiments will continue to develop the
techniques needed for these challenging
experiments - Muon EDM collaboration will continue to
investigate the appropriate ring structure. - Participate in scoping study for n factory
- At present muon physics is not mentioned in the
document of 10 June 2005
48Summary
- The questions addressed are at the center of the
field of particle physics - There is an important program of muon physics
which will be possible at the front-end of a n
factory. - It makes use of the very intense flux which will
be available there - If such a muon facility exists, there will also
be a program of other very interesting muon
experiments which is possible.
